• Address Header – directs the command to the specified marquee. To send the command to a different
marquee, change the second character of the address header to the address of the marquee you wish to send
the command to. If you have disabled the addressing feature of the marquee, do not send the address header
section.
• Entry Start – puts the 2800 into entry mode, which is used to enter data into the marquee.
• Number Start – tells the marquee that the entry will be a three digit location number.
• Location Number – specifies the three digit location number. This section must be exactly three characters
long, and all three characters must be numeric. Valid location numbers range from 001 to 242.
• Store Message - instructs the 2800 to copy the contents of the text entry buffer to one of the EEPROM stored
message buffers. The previously supplied location number specifies which stored message buffer to
overwrite.
• Entry End – ends message entry mode.
Use the message store command to copy the message text previously entered using the text entry command into
one of the 242 non-volatile EEPROM message buffers. EEPROM message buffers are 32 bytes long each.
Instructing the 2800 to store a message longer than 32 characters into a message buffer will overwrite multiple
EEPROM buffers. For example, if you enter a 90 character message, and then store this message in location
001, the message will consume buffers 001, 002, and 003.
Advanced Feature: There actually is a stored message buffer 000, and you can change it using the store
message command, but be aware that this buffer has the special purpose of storing the default message. 2800s
automatically display the default message when there are no stored messages recalled, and the immediate
message buffer is empty. Before shipment, the factory sets the default message to “READY”, but you could
change it to something more fun, such as “Welcome to our factory!”.
